Description

The Nurture Outreach Service is for primary aged children with complex social, emotional/behavioural needs known to the Local Authority SEND Service who are moving to reception from their pre-school year. These children are likely to be at risk of exclusion due to their experience of trauma and attachment and/or have a high level of Social Care involvement (Child Protection, Looked After Child or Child in Need).

The core purpose of the Nurture Outreach Service is to improve outcomes for children with social, emotional/behavioural needs, reduce their risk of exclusion, help them to access the school curriculum and to enable a positive transition at this key stage of their life (pre-school to reception, during reception and then to year one).

The Nurture Outreach Service will achieve this by working in partnership with schools to enable teaching and support staff to develop strategies for individual children, model approaches, provide coaching and provide consultation/supervision to school staff to ensure this become embedded in everyday school practice.
